Auld Lang Syne Soul Music BBC radio 4 27 Dec 2016 "It's gone from being an 18th century song about impotence to one of the best known songs all over the world. Most of us have sung Auld Lang Syne at some point in our lives on New Year's Eve, but how many of us know more than a few of the words and anything of its origin and meaning? Soul Music hears the stories behind the song, how it went from being a reflective melancholic Scottish air about the parting of the ways, to the jaunty tune we know today. There are also stories of love, sorrow, hope and joy, emotions that are especially heightened at this time of year." (the musical stuff is spread through roughly the first 20 minutes) Soul Music - Auld Lang Syne - @bbcradio4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ links to a couple of people talking or mentioned Fred Freeman https://www.rcs.ac.uk/staff/fred-freeman/ Mairi Campbell https://mairicampbell.scot Tannahill Weavers - YouTube - Auld Lang Syne
